7
Plan the location
Situate your Converse 2015 close enough to a
phone socket so that the line cord will reach.
Your Converse 2015 can be wall-mounted. See
‘Wall-mounting’, on page 22.
Setting up
2 Plug your Converse 2015 into the
telephone sockets
3 Set the Line1/Line 2 switch
If connecting one telephone line cord:
Set the switch to Line 1. (Make sure the
telephone cord is plugged into the Line 1
socket). This line is used for all calls including
data communications and the data port is
automatically linked to Line 1.
Note
When using the data port with only one line
connected, the line will be in use so you will
not be able to make or receive voice calls.
SETTING UP
1 Connect the handset
Plug one end of the coiled cord into the handset
and the other end into the socket on the left
side of the base
Place the handset on the hook.
Converse 2015 ~ 4th Edition ~ 10th September ’02 ~ 4517

4 Set the Ring/MW1/MW2 switch
If your switchboard provides compatible
signalling (dc voltage switching) to indicate
message waiting you will need to move the
switch to either MW1 or MW2 to enable the
indication.
Ring Message Waiting is switched off.
The Calls/Messages light indicates
incoming calls only.
MW1 Message Waiting is switched on.
The Calls/Message light will indicate both
incoming calls and when the switchboard
has taken a voice message for you. For
voice messages the lamp will flash or be
permanently on, depending on the type of
switchboard it is connected to.
MW2 Message waiting is switched on. This
setting provides the same indication as
MW1 but should only be used if MW1
results in a permanently ON light without
any voice messages waiting. This setting
corrects some line conditions.
5 Desk mounting
If preferred, you can attach the desk/wall mount
to the base of your phone to raise it up at a
convenient angle.
To wall mount,
see page 22.
Your Converse 2015 is now ready for use
